History

The organisation was established in 1903 and is the umbrella organisation of stuudy associations in Sweden. The regional Federation of Study Associations (20 regional bodies) are our regional body.

Main act

We seek to highlight the role of folkbildning in public debate. We do so on the basis of the several million people who meet in folkbildning every year. We particularly prioritise ethics and quality, active citizenship, culture, lifelong learning. We are also a negotiation body for the study associations and enter into joint agreements.
